A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1519 The cultivation technique is complete, the mission is accomplished! (Please subscribe!)
September 1998, outside the delivery room of the First People's Hospital of Donglin City.

Grandpa Cui paced back and forth in the corridor, while Grandma Cui sat in a chair, holding Cui Mengmeng's hand with one hand and Erpang Huo Xiaoyang's hand with the other, both showing signs of nervousness.

Hua Shier was the most composed of them all, wearing a mask and leaning against the wall flipping through a space magazine.

"Guoming, aren't you nervous?"

Grandpa Cui was annoyed by his carefree attitude, feeling that the young man was a bit heartless.

Hua Shier didn't even look up: "What's there to be nervous about? It's not like it's the first time."

Well, he's been a father in many worlds, so he's used to it.

No sooner had she finished speaking than a loud cry rang out from the delivery room. Hua Shier put down her magazine, quickly stood up, and waited at the delivery room door. A moment later, a nurse pushed the door open and asked the person outside:

"Li Xiaozhen's family?"

Hua Shier quickly replied, "That's me!"

The nurse glanced at Hua Shier. Although he was wearing a mask, she felt he looked somewhat familiar, but she didn't pay much attention and simply stated the result:

"Boy, weighing seven pounds and two ounces!"

"Hey, a big, chubby boy weighing seven pounds and two ounces!"

Even though Grandpa Cui and Grandma Cui didn't have any preference for sons over daughters, they were very happy to hear that it was their eldest grandson and quickly stuffed wedding candy into the nurse's pocket.

Just then, Hua Shier's phone rang. The caller ID showed "Ma Xiao!"

He stepped back a little, answered the phone, and asked, "Ma Xiao, how is Xiao Hui?"

Coincidentally, both Li Xiaozhen and Yang Baihui's due dates are this week. Today, Li Xiaozhen started having labor, and Hua Shier received a call earlier saying that Yang Baihui was also about to give birth.

This left him with too many tasks to handle, but fortunately, he had a friend named Ma Xiao to help him.

Ma Xiao's congratulatory voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Congratulations, Guoming! Baihui gave birth to a boy for you. He weighs 6.8 pounds, is fair-skinned, and looks just like his mother!"

Hua Shier first thanked him, then refuted Ma Xiao's statement:
"Nonsense, I don't even need to look to know it looks like me!"

After a while, Li Xiaozhen and the child were wheeled into the ward. A group of people surrounded the child, looking at him closely. Hua Shier then took Li Xiaozhen's hand:

"You've worked hard, honey!"

Li Xiaozhen glared at him with her beautiful eyes, then smiled and said, "Save those words for Baihui, okay?"

The affair between Hua Shier and Yang Baihui eventually came to the attention of Li Xiaozhen after the latter became pregnant.

However, Li Xiaozhen herself couldn't handle Hua Shier, and she also got along very well with Yang Baihui, so after venting her anger on her husband, she only said "this will not happen again" and that was the end of it.

Hua Shier whispered to Li Xiaozhen that Yang Baihui had also given birth to a boy. The latter told him to go and see her soon, as she couldn't bear to see a woman giving birth alone in the hospital without her husband by her side.

Hua Shier nodded in agreement and said, "My wife, you're so good to me!"

Li Xiaozhen rolled her eyes at him: "Don't talk nonsense. Now you know I'm good, but why were you with her in the first place?"

Hua Shier quickly covered her mouth. Fortunately, everyone was looking at the child and no one paid attention to the two of them.

Grandpa Cui named his grandson Cui Chengzhi, meaning 'to inherit ambition'.

Li Xiaozhen felt that the name sounded too old-fashioned. She wanted to give her child a more artistic name, so she nudged Hua Shier and gave him a wink, urging him to object.

Hua Shier understood and immediately declared, "I object to this name!"

Grandpa Cui indicated that his objection was invalid, and then asked Li Xiaozhen, "Daughter-in-law, what do you think of the name Dad came up with?"

Li Xiaozhen forced a smile and said, "It's great!"

Grandpa Cui glared at Hua Twelve: "See? The eyes of the masses are discerning. You're the only one making trouble!"

Hua Shier glanced helplessly at Li Xiaozhen. "We are ready to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?"

After staying there for a while, Hua Shier made an excuse to go out.

After leaving the hospital, Hua Shier drove straight to the Municipal Maternity and Child Health Hospital.

Upon arriving at the ward, Yang Baihui was leaning against the bed, holding her child and chatting with Ma Xiao. Seeing Hua Shier enter, she smiled and handed him the baby.
"We're waiting for you to come and name it!"

Hua Shier thought for a moment and said, "Let's call him Cui Qihang."

"Setting Sail?" Yang Baihui nodded with a smile: "It's up to you, let's call it Setting Sail!"

Ma Xiao asked, "What's the explanation for this 'launch'?"

Hua Shier sighed:
"The son Xiaozhen gave birth to for me, my grandfather named him Chengzhi. I thought to myself, I don't have any ambitions now, I just want to go back to work in aerospace, so let's name the son Baihui gave birth to as Qihang, which means to start a new journey, be brave and enterprising, and have smooth sailing!"

Ma Xiao slapped his forehead:
"Young Master, why are you making decisions on a whim? Do you know how many fans are waiting for your album? You want to go into aerospace?"

Hua Shier also felt that Cui Guoming's actions were too outrageous. He also felt bad for his partner, Ma Xiao, mainly because Ma Xiao was too lazy and always acted on impulse, which delayed his partner from making money.

He said sheepishly, "Even if it doesn't work out, you can still get a share. You know, working with me is a sure thing!"

When Ma Xiao heard that Hua Shier had helped her make a fortune, she immediately beamed with joy.

After the two children turned one month old, Hua Shier took the plan he had written in his spare time while taking care of the pregnant woman at home and drove directly to the machinery factory.

Factory Director Chen was leisurely drinking tea and reading the newspaper in his office. Ever since Hua Shier got the factory a 'mechanical continuously variable automatic transmission bicycle', the factory's life had become much better. Not a single worker in the factory had been laid off, and he, as the factory director, had been commended by his superiors.

Upon seeing Hua Shier arrive, Factory Director Chen stood up to greet him with a broad smile: "A big star has arrived! What brings you here? Please, have a seat!"

Hua Shier didn't stand on ceremony, plopped down on the sofa, pulled three business plans from his briefcase, and slammed them on the table:
"Factory manager, take a look at this."

Factory Director Chen put on his glasses, picked up the first document, and read it aloud:

"Research on Key Technologies for Precise Recovery and Reuse of the First Stage of Launch Vehicles with Vertical Take-off and Landing Technology!"

Director Chen, puzzled but impressed, picked up the second document: "Feasibility Study on Disruptive Aerospace Propulsion: Anti-Gravity Engine" and "Overall Design Study on Anti-Gravity Propulsion and Space-Based Carrier!"

Thinking hard!
He picked up the last document, his hands trembling slightly: "Project Nantianmen".

After reading through all the plans, Factory Director Chen looked up at Hua Shier with a complicated expression:
"Guoming, isn't it illegal for him to be researching these things?"

Old Chen felt that, putting aside these cutting-edge technologies, just looking at these headlines, they were all top-secret. How could a small factory manager like him possibly see them?

Hua Twelve smiled and said:
"What law are we breaking? We're not building mushroom bombs! This is legitimate aerospace technology, a great project I came up with for our factory, and the direction for our future development!"

Factory Director Chen wiped away his cold sweat and said earnestly:

"I know you studied aerospace engineering in school, but our factory makes machine tools. Researching this stuff isn't relevant to us. Besides, we can't do anything reckless from above. Ugh, why are you showing this to me? It's dangerous!"

Hua Shier pointed to the plan,
“I plan to bring my alma mater, the University of Technology, into the factory to set up a laboratory. The University of Technology can handle the approval process. As long as these projects are located in our factory, we will become a key military industrial unit. Your position will need to be promoted!”

"Bring in the university?"

Factory Director Chen felt that this approach seemed promising, but he was still not entirely at ease:

"Will it work?"

"Why not give it a try? It doesn't cost any money."

Factory Director Chen gritted his teeth: "Fine, since you started it, you can do whatever you want."

Hua Shier smiled, took out his phone, and dialed the number of the president of his alma mater, the University of Technology.

After a few pleasantries, he got straight to the point, promising to donate a teaching building to the university in exchange for an opportunity for them to visit Donglin Machinery Factory to inspect the project. Three days later, the university president personally led a delegation to Donglin.

The predecessor of Hua12's AI was a clone of Jarvis from Marvel, and the AI ​​stored a large amount of Marvel's advanced technology.

After he took out part of the core algorithm of the anti-gravity engine from the AI, he immediately excited the old professors who had initially been indifferent and just going through the motions.

Factory Director Chen, who was accompanying him, saw this and was also very excited. He knew that Cui Guoming had gotten the job done again!

In that same year, Donglin Machinery Factory and Harbin Institute of Technology jointly established the 'Donglin Aerospace Laboratory'.

The year 2000 arrived in the blink of an eye, the turn of the century.

At the beginning of the year, the Donglin Aerospace Laboratory announced that it had made a breakthrough in the reusable rocket technology jointly developed by Harbin Institute of Technology and Donglin Machinery Factory, and that a launch and recovery test would be conducted at a launch site next month.

The news caused an uproar.

Some media outlets exclaimed: The aerospace capabilities of Tokyo University are quietly rising.

Some media outlets are pessimistic, saying it's false reporting and exaggerated publicity, like launching a satellite!
In short, there are various opinions.

On the day of the test, many people came: leaders from above, top experts and professors in the aviation field, and a group of reporters carrying cameras.

The countdown reached zero, the test rocket ignited and soared into the sky, trailing a long trail of flame as it pierced the heavens.

After reaching the designated altitude, the rocket separated, the first stage rocket began to fall, the engine ignited again, the grid fins quickly deployed to adjust the attitude, the rocket body steadily decelerated under the action of retro-thrust, and finally the four landing legs lightly touched the ground, the rocket stood upright in the designated recovery area.

Cheers erupted at the test site.

Hua Shier took the champagne handed to him by the staff, shook it vigorously, and sprayed a golden mist of champagne towards the direction of the test arrow.

This test is of great significance, marking Southeast University as the first country in the world to master the technology of vertical recovery of launch vehicles.

Musk must be crying in the bathroom.

2003 was a year destined to be recorded in history.

Dongda Aerospace accomplished two major things that year: the world-renowned Shenzhou V manned spacecraft was successfully launched, and astronaut Yang Liwei became the first Chinese person to enter space.

When Yang Liwei displayed the five-star red flag in space during the live television broadcast, countless Chinese people were moved to tears.

Another thing, not many people know about it, but it is equally significant.

Just two months before the launch of Shenzhou V, the prototype of the anti-gravity engine from the Donglin Aerospace Laboratory completed its first thrustless hovering test at the Donglin Machinery Factory's test site.

That evening, Hua Twelve invited Academician Wang and Factory Director Chen from the University of Technology to have drinks.

Academician Wang, his face flushed and neck swollen from drinking, slammed his fist on the table and said:
"Xiao Cui, do you know what this means? If this thing becomes practical, going to space will be as easy as taking an airplane."

Hua Shier didn't seem to care. What's so difficult about going to space? He could fly there himself.

Holding his wine glass, he clinked it with Academician Wang's: "Academician, this is just the beginning."

Five years later, the Beijing Olympics opened.

Fireworks lit up the sky above the Bird's Nest.

Billions of people around the world witnessed this spectacle through live television broadcasts.

At the opening ceremony, Hua Shier was sitting in the VIP section of the Bird's Nest, next to Li Xiaozhen and Yang Baihui. Suddenly, his phone vibrated. He looked down and saw that it was an encrypted message.

After reading it, he smiled slightly and put his phone back in his pocket.

Li Xiaozhen noticed the change in his expression: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Hua Shier put his arm around her shoulder and pointed to the sky. "Let's watch the fireworks."

What he didn't say was that on the same day the Olympics opened, the laboratory's "Kunpeng" space carrier completed its first full-state test flight at a secret test base.

Kunpeng, a legendary divine bird, soars straight up ninety thousand miles.

At this moment, it is silently cruising at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

The following year, on National Day, the military parade was held to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

When the "Kunpeng" space carrier slowly flew over Chang'an Avenue and appeared before the world for the first time, the whole world was in an uproar.

Everyone in the square was looking up, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

The enormous shadow and the oppressive feeling it created caused a complete uproar in the foreign media.

The Associated Press headline read: "The world order has changed, and the U.S. military is conducting an emergency assessment of the threat posed by space-based aircraft carriers."

A BBC commentator's voice trembled during the live broadcast: "This is not science fiction, this is reality."

The Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun used an even more sensational headline: "Shock! Imperial Space Carrier, First Flight - The Military Balance of Asia Ends."

When asked this question at a press conference, the US president, unusually, paused for five seconds before saying:
"Next question!"

Hua Shier stood on the reviewing stand, looking at the colossal object in the sky. He was somewhat excited. Looking back, he saw many aerospace workers shedding tears of emotion. Academician Wang, standing not far behind him, was also overcome with emotion, tears streaming down his face.

"Academician, why are you crying?" Hua Shier walked over and handed him a tissue.

Academician Wang wiped his eyes, his voice slightly choked:
"Our lives have been worthwhile."

In 2010, the Nantianmen project began to take shape.

A new special page has quietly appeared on the official website of Donglin Aerospace Laboratory.

The page contains only one image: a massive space station structure orbiting the Earth. Below the image is a line of small text:
"Project Nantianmen - Our journey is to the stars and the sea."

No one knows the specifics of the plan, but everyone knows that a new era for Dongda Aerospace has begun.

In a courtyard house in Beijing, the Hua family was enjoying the cool evening breeze, which carried the chill of early autumn.

In the night sky, a flying machine with its lights flashing flew slowly by.

But that wasn't an airplane.

That was the 'Kunpeng' space carrier conducting a nighttime patrol mission.

At this moment, Hua12 finally received a system notification that the task was completed and that it would be forced to return in 24 hours.

Late at night, after his family had fallen asleep, he opened a magic door and stepped out, finding himself deep in the Qinling Mountains, having traveled from the capital city.

With a thought, thousands of clones converged on him from all parts of the Qinling Mountains, merging into his main body.

Hua Shier has been working on scientific research with his team for years. He didn't have time to cultivate, so he released clones to cultivate for him. Thousands of clones cultivated day and night, and now they have finally achieved results.

Previously, in the Infinite World, the flying sword (Zhuxian Sword - Pseudo) was forged from the Zhuxian Sword Qi that was seized in the 'Mummy World'. Later, it was exchanged for (Luxian Sword - Pseudo) and (Juexian Sword - Pseudo) in the Main God Space.

Now he has thoroughly understood them all, returned to their original state, and transformed them into three streams of sword energy.

Once Hua Shier refines these three sword energies into his body and transforms them into true essence, his 'Spiritual Treasure Innate Sword Energy' will reach a higher level, achieving the state of minor perfection.

At that time, not only did the power of the sword energy increase, but the four sword energies, like earth, water, wind, and fire, could complement each other and generate endlessly, making it difficult to deplete one's true energy when fighting against others.

When the four sword energies merge into one, this technique will become the strongest offensive art in the entire world!

Powerful enough to split the heavens!
Besides the advancement in the 'Spiritual Treasure Innate Sword Qi', the arduous cultivation of these millions of clones also allowed his main body's primordial spirit to completely merge, making his strength incomparable to what it was before.

Hua Shier smiled with satisfaction: "It's time to go back!"

Thank you to 08a and Little Tiger of the Demon Realm for the donations, and thank you to all the brothers who voted with monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. Thank you so much!
